1.7.5 on Mac OSX 10.11.2 Keyboard stops connecting


Recommended Posts

Paul Johnson
I'm running Synergy 1.7.5 on two Mac's, an iMac and a Macbook Pro. Both are running OSX 10.11.2. When I first start Synergy the keyboard transfers correctly but after about 15 minutes, it stops transferring the key strokes to the client and instead inputs only on the server. This started after my upgrade to 10.11.2 from 10.11.1 so I think it's Mac related. Anyone else experiencing this issue?

Yes, I'm having the same problem. Mouse input is passing between the Mac's properly, but keyboard is not. It works for a few minutes, then stops passing keystrokes between machines. Both machines running OS X 10.11.2. I've attempted turning off auto-config and using a manual configuration, but that doesn't resolve the issue. Starting and restarting the processes, or exiting and restarting Synergy also do not resolve the issue. I've also tried reversing client/server roles and passing keystrokes back the other way, and that doesn't work either. Rebooting, restarting the machines will work temporarily, but as Paul noted, it doesn't work for long.

It's very annoying as I love using my personal machine on the side while I'm at work. I also would like to note that my keyboard stopped transferring after about 1 minute today with no non-startup programs running on either machine with exception of synergy. Programs that I pretty much always run are listed below. On Server machine (iMac): Synergy Finder (I do mount network drives if that counts...) Google Chrome Google Drive FileMaker Pro 14 Sublime Text 2 Codekit Skitch Adobe Creative Suite Manager USB Overdrive (to make my mouse buttons work) Sophos Antivirus (uninstalled but needs to be running) On Client (Macbook Pro): Finder Synergy Sophos Antivirus Google Chrome Google Drive Slack Mozilla Thunderbird iMessage Adobe Creative Suite Manager Maybe this can help the synergy team figure out if there is a correlation between programs. Anyway, I hope y'all figure out this bug quickly.

Yep, it's unfortunately made Synergy completely unusable atm. :( Synergy team - any chance we can help hunt logs for you on this issue?

This is happening for me as well. I even purchased Synergy to get the pre-compiled version but no luck. * Mac OSX 10.11.2 server * Win 10 client

I'm not a member of synergy team, but I can tell how to get a more precise log of synergy. Go "Synergy"->"Settings"->"Logging Level" and you can change the level.(Default=info.)

I'm having the same issue on 1.7.5 but I didn't see it until I upgraded the server side to OS X 10.11.3 and applied the latest security patch on the client OS X 10.10.5.

I'm having the same problem - server is running OS X Yosemite 10.10.5, client is running El Capitan 10.11.4 Beta (though I was having the problem before I installed the beta, on regular El Capitan). Help!

More info on this. IF I start the server computer, with NO programs running, then start the client computer and run programs, I can still pass keyboard strokes back and forth between machines. AS SOON AS I use the keyboard on the server computer and have entered text in whatever program, the ability to to pass keyboard strokes to the client machine stops. App focus on the server/host binds keyboard to host only.

I have a mac mini (El Capitan 10.11.13) as the server and a macbook pro (El Capitan 10.11.13) as the client. I use Sublime text and IntelliJIDEA java IDE on the macbook prod (client). Every few minutes, I wont be able to input/delete text from IntelliJIDEA, minimizing it and maximizing it again resolves the issue temporarily. Please fix soon.

[quote="JonL"]Unfortunately, it does not appear that 1.7.6 fixes this issue. :([/quote] Yeah I've upgraded my machines to Mac OSX 10.11.4 and am running Synergy 1.7.6. Still not working.
